A large number of people now completely understand that a gorgeous well kept garden can add a great deal of extra monetary worth to their house. It is also true to say that, a cleverly designed yard can seriously increase the amount of useful space for your family and you. For these factors, and a few more besides, garden landscaping has, over time, increased to become an extremely popular hobby. Top of the list for most landscapers is a gorgeous yearly display of colorful and varied blooms.
While many landscape gardeners choose to add color by using annual flowers, the remainder decide that using perennial garden plants is the better method. Annual flowers are those plants which grow, flower and die all in the one year whereas perennials will continue to flower year after year. Of course there are plus points and minus points for both annuals and perennial plants and garden landscaping is all about deciding which is the most suitable blend of the two.
Many people experience heart warming memories of distant days spent in a grandmother's garden enjoying the wonderous aromas of many old fashioned popular garden perennials. Sadly it can be rather problematic for even the most keen gardener (including some experienced professionals) to replicate gardens of the past because many of the varieties (of species) are no longer available. You will be happy to hear that many of the old fashioned varieties have been replaced by strains which are much more able to withstand disease, so you can often discover suitable replacements which show little or no (other) differences to the older plant.
Traditional Perennial Flowers
One of the most popular perennials used in landscaping today is the Achillea which first appeared in American gardens during colonial days when it was introduced from Europe. Achillea is an ancient plant used since the times of the Greek hero Achilles (from whom the plant gets it's name) who used it to help heal his soldiers. Achillea can stop bleeding and works amazingly well at healing wounds.
Achillea millefolium
Achillea ptarmica has really pretty flat groups of small flowers that look rather daisy like. Achillea are available with flower heads in a selection of colors ranging from different shades of yellows, whites and pinks. Achillea are thought by most landscape gardeners to be relatively easy perennial garden plants to cultivate. They are so easy to propagate because they are considerably invasive plants which can be spotted growing on the poorest of soil. If you wish to witness success with Yarrow you only need to avoid growing in boggy or poorly drained soil. The plants are well able tolerating drought conditions. Achillea ptarmica and Achillea millefolium are two of the most often chosen varieties but there are various others available.
